The NL won for the first time since an 8-0 victory in 2012 in Kansas City thanks to Elias Díaz, a catcher who became the first Rockies player to win the All-Star MVP award.
SEATTLE — Elias Díaz hit a two-run homer off Félix Bautista in the eighth inning, and the National League snapped a nine-game losing streak in the All-Star Game with a 3-2 win over the American League on Tuesday night.
He has nine homers this season, but hadn’t hit a long ball since June 23 against the Los Angeles Angels.For most of the night, the All-Star Game was a pitchers’ duel highlighted by a couple big hits and some excellent defense. Yandy Díaz hit a solo homer in the second inning and Bo Bichette’s sacrifice fly in the sixth inning gave the AL a 2-1 lead.
Gerrit Cole became the first New York Yankees pitcher to start the All-Star Game since Roger Clemens in that 2001 game. He needed a pair of spectacular leaping catches from Adolis García and Randy Arozarena near the wall to escape the first inning unscathed. Chicago White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. did not play after feeling tightness in his right calf during the Home Run Derby. The White Sox said Robert underwent an MRI in Seattle and is listed as day to day.The Rangers made All-Star history when Nathan Eovaldi took the mound in the second. That marked the third time in an All-Star Game when there were six players from the same team on the field at the same time. It also occurred with the 1939 Yankees and 1951 Dodgers.

A Neutron Star is Unwinding a Companion StarAstronomers have found a bizarre binary star system where a neutron star orbits with another star. Its companion used to be more massive, but the neutron star has torn away and consumed its outer layers, leaving only three solar masses of material. The neutron star has increased its rotation speed due to all the material stolen from its companion. Although the stripped star looks similar to regular main sequence stars, this is only because it still has a thin shell of hydrogen around its largely helium core. It should explode as a supernova about a million years from now, becoming a neutron star. Eventually, they'll collide, creating a kilonova.
